This is the 2 cell AA mini Maglite Pro, and it is a wonderful flashlight. My dad has always used Maglites, so I grew up with them and spent a lot of time using them. I have grown quite fond of their ruggedness and reliability. #flashlight #maglite #ledlights #outdoors #scouts

That harsh blue color of LED is usually present in budget lights. You can get a much warmer light from an LED in a more premium light. This is a cool light but there are most certainly better lights out there today. Like the candle mode though that idea should be implemented in other lights!
I’m going to be looking at the Streamlight brand next. I will always have a soft spot for Maglites though.
@@hookandblade That makes sense they are a brand with a lot of history. I got the Weltool T1 pro TAC that uses a single AA or 14500 battery and outputs 560 lumens and 21,000 candela. It’s also a warmer LED than the cheap ones but it’s just that, not cheap haha!Great for edc but there’s so many other good lights out there too.
@@hookandbladehey I get you there. Maglites will always be around. For almost the same price as the maglite you have now, check out the new “Nitecore MT2A Pro at about $45.00. Comes with a rechargeable battery that won’t leak alkaline into the internals of your light and also make it capable of outputting 1,000 lumens (17,000 Candela). Without the rechargeable battery you can still use 2AAs alkaline in a pinch and still get 500 lumens for 2.5 hrs. Take a look at it! Great light 💡
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries don't leak at all. Or I've never seen that they do leak. And I do like the Mini Mag Flashlight as well. But the there is a lot better Flashlights on the market to buy. You don't have to need them? You don't like them?
Just stuck in my ways I guess! ☺️ I should broaden my horizons.
It use to be also my favorite too, i still have one with the old halogen bulb. The reason why i did not upgrade it is because the cost of the upgrade kit is equal to a good quality chinese modern LED flashlight now. High lumens, can choose light colour, multi modes, better IPX rating….etc….
I have been carrying the Climber for years now. Within days of putting it in my pocket I realized a good capable pair of scissors was something I never knew I needed but now can’t live without. When I go fishing I will usually swap it out for the huntsman so I still have the scissors but also a saw to remove small limbs from a creek bank hole if needed. I find the four layer a bit too bulky to carry around every day though.
Nice! My hiker is with me every day. I keep looking at the super tinker for myself, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Also very popular in finland
If you ever need scissors, the Fieldmaster is a nice upgrade.
Thanks for the recommendation. ☺️
7 means 7 cm long blade
Using inches in France is like blasphemy
Pick up a Buck 110. You'll love it! Not one of those Buck 110 Slims. Get one with the brass bolsters and wood handle scales and it comes with a belt sheath.
Did I understand you correctly that there is no on button?????
Correct
@@hookandblade Thank you. I imagine this is a huge inconvenience, as one needs both hands to twist it, possibly several turns. What’s your experience?
Try the SOG powerpint. I love it and makes a awesome edc muti-tool
I will check it out
Great knife !
I think so too
If you're fortunate enough to get a Spyderco or GEC knife at some point...youre gunna see and feel the difference in quality & that extra money is sooo worth the saving to get something that catches your eye! There's very clear levels in this particular game💪😂👍
Kershaw really doinked the dog not giving this knife a half-stop...imo. D2 steel with a half-stop woulda made this a must-have EDC!! Thx for showing dude💪😎👍
Btw...congrats on getting your 100th sub!! Me😎
Thank you! ☺️
Just picked up this knife. My first Barlow. As a woman with small hands I love the grip feel and the heft to it. I think it is a great knife for the price. Thanks for the vid. I’ll sub!
@@adventourgirl1096 glad you found a knife you enjoy! And thanks for subbing. ☺️
1890 from 2024 is only 134 years not a couple hundred.
I rounded up aggressively. ☺️
I have a No.8 carbon and it's the knife I carry everyday. One of the best, lightweight, sharp and a wonderful slicer for outdoor cooking use. Very classic and affordable.
I’m loving my No.7 as well. It’s made me a believer in Opinel.
whats the benefints of carbon to inox?
The Pro+ is better because it also has a low mode which can last up to 27 hours
Too much line
Time to keep stick with the French theme and get a Douk Douk.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will check that knife out.
I carry this little knife called the Kizer Squidward I got on Amazon for half off ($35) and it’s been the best little edc I’ve ever had.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into that one.
The Boker Atlas in D2 costs around 30 euros ( i think that's about 32 dollars) The Atlas model can be bought in many colors and materials
This one slipped by me.
👍🏼I like its look. I like the brass. Half stop would be good. Love opinel. 🙂
I use my hiker for my whittling knife❤
Bought my first profile at a local thrift store for 18 dollars, great knife
One of my favorite beater-blades, a great starting knife and inexpensive gift ..
100%! I wish I would have bought the straight edge rather than the hybrid.
@@hookandblade .. all this talk about it makes me want to have one again. Just wish they'd make one with more high-end materials.
You just have to remember to replace the batteries every 6 months or so, but I use them alot... Just cycle out those batteries
Or just take a chance and buy the new “Nitecore MT2A Pro”
Unfortunately maglite let the led market slip tok far forward by the time they caught up but as a light for long term preps they are great as they shouldn't be affected my a solarstorm or emp ,hence why I just bought one but I will also buy the led upgrades for it but won't install until necessary
Duplicate thumbs?🤷♂️😁
That's alright with me. =^)
👍🏼

Is the blade steel any good?
The blade of the Victorinox is a high carbon steel that is easy to sharpen, holds an edge, and has a mirror-like shine due to high amounts of chromium (based on my research). I’ve been using mine for a few months now opening packages and cutting down boxes, and I have not had to sharpen it yet. It is a pretty thin blade which allows it to slice easily. It seems to be holding up very well for light duty every day tasks.
Super
I have a few Opinel. Best thing is you can completely customize them to your own liking m, both blade and handle, without destroying an expensive knife.
The Opinel was the first knife i took to as a kid because you don't have the dexterity or strength in your hands and they don't take a lot. The price is a big bonus for a kid too. Still have an 8 and a 9, great hiking knives, very lightweight and tough enough to get through those small tasks.
👍🏼love opinel. Just the way they are and for modding to make them your very own unique knife. I have a vid😁
I have been using the number 8 for about 50 years now. amazing little knives.
👍🏼
👍🏼I don’t need these for what I carry but I like them. $20 Good deal.
Hey Mark, those are 2 great tools, 👍 👌, I personally own both and use them in my shop!! Great video brother 👍 Thanks for sharing!!
Hey, thank you! There seems to be a good number of options like hawkbill blade, drop point, etc...
👍👍👍
👍🏼
👍🏼I like ancient archaeology stuff. Very interesting.
Lost City of the Monkey God is pretty awesome too
👍🏼
👍🏼I like those. I like the candle mode. I had one I hose clamped to a shotgun barrel. :) Clamped too hard, bent it and couldn’t get the batteries out. :( I have a big maglite in my truck. For a long time I’ve been using cheap “police/security” flashlights. Pocket clip, 3 modes and adjustable beam. I think you’re in Ohio so howdy neighbor. I’m in Indiana:)
I'm definitely not your neighbor, I'm from Spain :-)
👍🏼
👍🏼 I like the look very much. Keep seeing it at Menards but I keep not buying it.
It is a solid knife for the price. I am glad I have it, but I wouldn’t try to convince someone to buy it.
Buck knives are great for edc !!!
Hey Mark, those are great lights!! I carry a light on me edc. Usually a olight or a streamlight !! Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
Hey brother, the 379 is a excellent watch pocket knife or a good Sunday knife to go with slacks!! Great video brother 👍
I’ve just started carrying it in my watch pocket!
👍👍👍
You can make it better with a new led chip and rear button from LimeLightLed
Looks like a great watch pocket knife. I have an Old Timer 12OT that’s a similar size and it makes a handy edc for office carry.
You are right! That is the perfect place for it.
